Update: it's better to only use topic that discuss that tutorial [TUTORIAL] How to publish your composition on the Workshop there. So forum won't be cluttered with same tutorial again-again and again in the future And welcome to Ylands community!

First of all, if this topic is forbidden to post, please just remove it, because I don't see anything in Forum Guidelines that forbid to post another game in positive manner. Remember to stay in positive manner and don't disparaging other games. So back to the topic, I just wanted to share my experience and impression from playing games, and maybe you can share your experience and impression too.. I have lots of favorite games so far, one of them is Uncharted Waters Online (UWO), UWO is game that focus on ships, 'player driven economy', naval combat, and adventure in general. Things that I like from UWO is trading ingame, because of most items ingame is provided by players, trading becomes very important part. It can drives you crazy, or make you really rich. I learn a lot of real things like sense of direction, history, trading, even being a beggar when I was really poor because of bankruptcy , and from UWO, I learn to love sail ships, that's why I'm falling in love to Ylands at first sight when I found Ylands. That's my experience, feel free to share yours, just stay in positive manner.

@Aleš Ulm there you go (Suggestion) Editor - Water Button - Sea Level thats his suggestion. @~Chris~ I kinda feel the same, I mean adding water in Editor is just pain in the head maybe because the nature is in freeze mode. And the "Toggle time freeze" button doesn't work or I simply don't know how it works. Holding LMB too quick nothing will comeup or too little. Holding LMB too long, you will make water taller than surrounding water level. Note: Editing Explore mode water in Editor is simply like solid because the time is freezing. Note: Background of this setting menu is taken in Explore Mode after edited in Editor just like 1st Picture. If the time not freeze, water will eventually filling volume of its surrounding so the surface level become pretty flat but there is issue as you can see the background of the setting menu in the picture above, some water don't want to touch the dirt(right side of the pond). And the sea water also act weird, sea water as I know is abundant and chance of sea level decrease because someone digging dirt/sand underwater is almost impossible.

We're talking about games not the hardware(Console(handheld/stationary), PC), whatever. Thats a lot of game title you have there, can you pick one and then tell us why is it become your favorite? Btw so do I , since I played alot of genre games, and there is no ultimate genre that contains all of the genre games. So I think thats not a problem.

After I played in MP Public Server about a week now, I have encounter several issues (Game Version: 0.6.3.43619). I'm really sorry if my words is harsh and spelled wrong, I'm still in rage mode ON when I post this thread. Let me honestly explain/summary one by one. First there is several issues with the current Protective Barrier (PB). 1. Anyone who don't have claim of Protective Barrier able to dig/pour soil in someone's PB. In this case my friend @YadNiMonde experience this issue. (Very Critical) 2. Anyone can build chest/furniture inside someone's Protective Barrier. In this case I tried myself, actually I was attempting to protect @YadNiMonde house because he forgot to lock the door and have 2nd floor able to climb by anyone who jumping from trees to 2nd floor. I put chests to block the doors and stairs lead to 2nd floor. (Moderately Critical) (Note: I did like above picture before, griefer ruin YadNi's house.) 3. Anyone can lock anything (that can be lock) inside someone's PB. This issue potentially can be subject for griefers to piss off someone. (Very Critical) 4. PB should have setting if you wanna share your claim to someone, shutting down the barrier is bad idea for sharing claim. (Optional) 5. Any plants (ex. Orchid, berries, cotton, Trees not included) inside Protective Barrier is simply not safe. Anyone can still pick up those plants. So you can't make beautiful garden outside your house. (Critical) 6. Player that remove their character history in the server should make their Protective Barrier decay/gone. I honestly didn't try this (I avoid to be one of the griefer). But this point can be subject of the griefer if they're able to get multiple PB by removing their character history. (Moderately Critical) I think that's all for Protective Barrier issues, that I encounter. Moving next to personal issue (Client side issue). Basically this issues can be fixed by restart/relogin and consciousness of yourself. 1. Exploiting soil see-through. Able to see through soil is huge problem in PVP Server. In this case, I did myself and found someone (won't call his name) who desperately hiding inside the cave. (Whoever this guy in the picture, I know your feeling buddy. I didn't kill or take your stuff, I left the sign message for you there. ) (Moderately Critical) 2. This is bug that I encounter myself, you can open basically any chest that generated by server with Key Chain ( I'm desperately carry 30+ keys in my Key Chain). I'm able to unlock MK 1 armor chest at the tower with my Key Chain, even I didn't have first key at sunken sphere. And I'm also able to unlock Pirate Chest (which has old coins and musket) with my Key Chain without actually getting the Pirate Chest real key. (Critical) 3. Able to glitch character through the ground with rope ladder(and any other ladders maybe). I honestly found the rope ladder being placed by someone. Since I already have propeller pack on my back, glitching through the ground is not a biggy for me. I can simply fly to anywhere and glitch through on top of the ground or inside the cave again. (Critical) 4. Ship being blackout without anything on it for certain condition, only the hull is visible with really black color. I encounter this bug when I'm flying around island to get map data, and then back to my ship. This problem can be fixed if you relogin. (Moderately Critical) 5. Inventory item in some cases, will be duplicated. I honestly don't know how this happen, but I got 2 herb bags with exact amount and the same herb I have in other herb bag. And I got stone block that duplicated at another time. (Moderately Critical) 6. Sharks on the land seems still be problem for you, Devs. Even though they're not that much. Here is the picture. I think it happen when your screen generate yland. (Moderately Critical) 7. Blocks overlap each other, this issue happen when you click too fast when building using continuous feature. Basically the blocks will overlap each other at the same place. (Moderately Critical) I think thats all I have. I'll surely update this thread if I forgot something. My most concern is about PB, even with PB placed I'm not feeling safe playing in MP Public Server with those re*ards griefer. At current state, multiplayer is playable, but most of the time you'll never have "positive fun" at the end. Currently I will stop playing MP Public server until the PB issues being fixed. I'll summon devs that I know, @Aleš Ulm, @Khanecz, @Ane. I'm sorry, I have to summon you guys, just to let you know. (Note: All of the pictures above is taken from Public Multiplayer Server (Official Server). My message to all of the griefer out there, I warn you to NOT do what I was said above! You simply ruin someone's experience! If you wanna get "real fun" in the game, simply don't be an *ssh*le. Bonus picture: "I made complete public starter camp with basic stations near generated blacksmith on the spawn island, so newcomer can progress little bit faster. But someone who re*ard enough, place the PB on it. Maybe I'm just too kind to those people, I'll surely never do that again. OR Maybe someone generous enough to let his only PB placed to protect it."

Yep I can't wait for this update, a lot of good stuff in there.. And I also hope that only the owner of Protective Barrier are able to lock the chest/door which is inside their PB. For despawn system, I think that is a must have in the future since it can maintain the server performance too, not only for item that dropped by player action (chopping down the tree like you said) but also like player stuff/player made structure including Protective Barrier itself. Don't be disagree yet, let me give you example: For player dropped stuff outside Protective Barrier might be vanish after 3-4 days rl. For player made structure outside Protective Barrier might be vanish after 10 days rl. For player made stations/furniture outside Protective Barrier might be vanish after they no longer being used after 3-4 days rl. For Protective Barrier itself might be vanish after 20 days rl if the player not login again in the server. So your house/structure that initially inside PB will totally vanish after 30 days, and your stuff/station/furniture that initially inside PB will totally vanish after 24 days. I think that is fair enough. 30 days for gaming time is pretty long, too long even for scavenger to wait. As admin you can change this time estimation in Editor. Note: all of this time estimation is only my opinion.

Just suggestion from my mind. I think you need to add something at the backside of your house. Add balcony or something at 2nd floor, I don't know. Overall your house already looks better than the old version. I think you will stuck there without jump to get through that interior pillar with stone statue at your 2nd image. And here you go what I mean by Japanese/Chinese vibe with that walls. Maybe because you use that top roof part. Note: I took the picture from search engine. Whoever house it's, it looks beautiful.

Nice lighting you have there! I love how you use that fern at front door, simply well done dude. I don't know how, but it feels like japanese or chinese vibe there, with those walls surrounding your house.

lol , I got an idea to fix this problem, and don't need to change the overall look of the ship. Will update the Dreadnought 2.0 shortly after I feel it's right. FYI I'm currently working on interior design of Acquilla, seems people prefer ship being furnished than empty in my last strawpoll.

Thanks Chris, I realize this issue with Dreadnought, with stair facing backward is nightmare.. and I will try to figure out whats better to fix it (looks pleasant to our eyes, and functional like intended) and will update it shortly. I'm sorry for fast ship, I don't like being slow when moving around..

@Chris Young Noize G. So which ship are you talking about?

Don't you dare try one of bugs above.. Lets talk about this in my creation thread. #I really want to get feedback so badly, but no one sent me positive criticism or feedback.

@YadNi I'm really sorry I can't protect your house successfully.. I though you made fully filled block square house, I'm wrong about the floor.. Yeah able to dig/pour dirt inside protective barrier is really bad issue that need to be fixed really soon.

How in the world.. never found like that before.. Btw you better attach the picture here or other image hoster, so people can see your beautiful picture directly..

whichever way is good, would be cool if you could invite me to your map..

lol, yeah pretty much. I and @YadNiMonde was encounter with griefer today, at night around 12-1 am ingame time, he (I don't know how) able to climb on top of the normal oak tree (we don't know at first), and then shooting at YadNi twice, then we blend in the dark to hide, but he able to see me running around in the darkness and keep shooting at me with his xbow. I think he was shooting at me atleast 15 times, none of them on my body. That guy simply don't know how to shoot moving target. Finally some light is start to shining (around 3-4 am), I found him on top of the tree, ask him to go down, but no respond. So you know what that's mean? "Revenge" mode ON. I chop down the tree, he fell down. Me and YadNi with rage ON, chasing that guy. I got my xbow out then start shooting him down. Get like 3 of 5 shots, YadNi keep chasing that guy with his melee weapon. Finally we got him down in like 1 minute or so. And YadNi with rage still ON start fireplace beside him and burn that guy to his misery. What a great moment dealing with griefer..

welldone I think it looks beautiful!

Yes, I miss the moment of cooperating in games. Oh dear, "Shooting before talking sounds to me like a very bad way of doing things". It's so frustrating when you try to be friendly but then someone without reason come up at you and pointing gun. And they will start shooting, if we comment about it, they will say "it's just a game.."

hahaha cheating? oh well well no ofcourse, hours and hours have been spent there. btw I have better method. You don't need to rebuild your house, just save your old house in composition, find a place that suit your house (dirt elevation, etc), place your house composition there. and walla it can be done in less than 10 minutes.

bahaha.. I'm just kidding. Btw you can ask uncle oogle too if you aim for realistic house color. Here example

Gesss.. Mine is pink, yours is black? Oh dudette..

ah I see now, it happened to me in MP server once. I press Esc, to close the inventory, then open it up again. Somehow it fixed again.

Sorry, does he mean move items from inventory to storage/station? Right click is only used for that, I think. For moving/drag item in inventory is left click. Btw for me moving items from inventory to storage/station is working fine like intended with right-click.

yeah well thats the base color I suggested, but with item texture/shade color, the result will be different. That's the most concern for me, the shade/texture color is ruining the color we paint on it. You need to adjust the color manually to solve that problem.

Hemmh, what color your walls is? Is it Green-ish? From your colors, I choose red. But I think the roof will looks better with grey-ish blue like this for example #3C4051, copy-paste it to color palette. Good progress btw, 1 step further
